I am a new user and was told I can get Studio 8 here. I joinged to see what it is all about and found lots of Studio 8 downloads. Found out that most was less than 1000kb but the 851.7KB. A cple sites had studio 8 with >200 mb file and I downloaded it. It was a beta version and had expired. Although it had a serial no with it, was unable to open file to install the serial no.

Is this normal for lime wire? and what can I do about this problem,

All the files that were 851.7 was rejected by my anitvirus program. Thank God.

Well any reasonable person would realise that a decent program is going to be larger than 1 MB (1,000 KB) so get your head together. See these links: 1. WARNING: Viruses on network you should be aware of! (click on link), & also 2. autogenerated spam results

But then there's also this which you totally forgot to read: 3. Program download Rules for the forum (click here)

Yeh, I had read some of the threads and noticed the lower than 1000kb problem, and my antiviral program did catch that I did not think I needed to read all the threads before I downloaded anything. I also realized that the size was small. I believe that lime wire subsequently needs to tell newbies that before doing anything they need to read the threads for issues that they can look into a crystal ball to see.

How about the correct size and beta version or is that another thread that I did not find. How about with a serial no but unable to install it. Is there also a thread for that area., Threads are so specific to subjects
